What are Open Box, Clearance & Refurbished Items?

There are a variety of reasons that a product is deemed "Open Box". Customers return opened products for a variety of reasons — a gift was the wrong color or model, or the TV or appliance was too big to fit. Some open box products served as in-store displays or, in some cases have been opened by a company employee to inspect the contents of packaging damaged in transit. Each open box product has been tested or inspected to verify it's in proper working order, its physical appearance was validated, and most of them include all parts and accessories (exceptions are noted as part of the product's condition).

Don't discount these products as being the same as "used", although technically they are. When something is sold as "used" the product may or may not be defective, whereas a refurbished item has been tested and verified to function properly. ****The primary difference between an open box item and a refurbished item is that a refurbished item was returned to the original manufacturer and the manufacturer has ensured that the product is in good working condition.****

Clearance is most often used (but not exclusively) when a shop wants to clear a particular stock line. The reasons vary, but most often because they're not stocking that line any more or they simply want to clear old remaining stock before the new season stock arrives. Either way, this is a great opportunity to get brand new items at heavily discounted prices.

Why buy an open box item?

To put it simply, they are great deals. Open box items give you the opportunity to buy great products at prices that will, most of the time, beat seasonal or clearance sales.
